EAR WARMERS FOR SOLDIERS

The object of this pattern is to produce a dense seamless circular band of about 3"
wide that stretches the long way. When folded in half, the finished band should be
between 7.5" and 9" unstretched, and should stretch to at least 11"  without straining. 
Make one and try it on your own head.  If it's comfortable and doesn't flop down,
you've got it right. Since heads come in many sizes, precision measurement isn't
important.  Fiddling with needle sizes, gauge and cast on number is encouraged.

 Worsted weight wool
    1 set American size 8 double pointed needles or one short  size 8 circular needle

Gauge:  Approximately 6-7 stitches per inch in twisted rib.
Twisted rib:  *K1 through the back of the loop, p1* repeat

Cast on approximately 126 stitches and distribute them among the needles.  Knit in
twisted rib until you complete about 3". Bind off.
